第一篇：大学英语综合教程5 第十一单元Beauty 翻译
Unit 11 Beauty 对希腊人来说，美是一种品德，是一种出色的表现。拥有这种美的人在如今被我们当然又嫉妒的认为是一个完整的人。即使在希腊真的存在那种把一个人分成“内在”和“外在“，他们依然期望内在美能够有与之匹配的其他方面的美。那些出身很好的雅典年轻聚围在苏格拉底身旁，他们发现一个矛盾的事情，英雄们总是那么的智慧，勇敢，那么的令人尊敬又充满魅力，同时长相却那么丑陋。苏格拉底给这些无知的长相好看的门徒们上的其中最重要的一课就是，用自己的丑陋告诉他们生活中充满了矛盾。
也许他们不接受苏格拉底的教导，但我们不会。几千年后的今天，我们更加小心翼翼的对待美的魅力。我们不仅轻易的把“内在（品质，智慧）“于“外在（外貌）”分开来，而且我们还会非常惊讶于一个人既漂亮又充满智慧，有才干又善良。
主要是受到基督教的影响，美失去了在传统理想上的人类品德的中心地位。为了仅仅把其限制为道德方面的品德，基督教使美变为一种疏离的，任意的，肤浅的诱惑。使得美渐渐失去了它的地位。在近两个世纪中，美约定俗成的变为用于形容两性中其中一性：不管怎么公平对待，依旧是第二位。把美与女性联系起来，使得其总是饱受道德的攻击。
在英语里我们说一个美丽的女人，但是会说一个英俊的男人。英俊是美丽的阳性对应，也是一种轻视，这种只把美丽与女性绑在一起的恭维实际上包含了侮辱贬低的弦外之音。在法语和意大利语中可以形容一个男人美丽，说明一些不同于的新教的基督教国家的天主教国家仍保留着对美丽的不一样赞美的痕迹。但即使存在，也只是程度上的，本质并没变化。在所有现代国家中，无论是基督教还是后基督教，女性都是美丽的性别，即伤害了美丽又伤害了女性。
希望被称为美丽被认为是女性品质和所关心的中心（不同于男性，强壮，高效，强竞争力被认为是中心）。是个女性都能看出来，女性被引导向美丽的过程中实际上助长了自恋主义，不独立和不成熟。每个人（不管男人女人）都明白这些。“每一个人“，也就是整个社会，把女性化等同于她的长相（不同于男性，是关心于他是怎样的，做的怎么样，然后才会关心长得怎么样）。因为这是思维定势，美丽毫无疑问是毁誉参半的。
当然，追求美本身没有错，错的是把追求美当成一种义务，一种尝试。被大多数女性接受的一种性别理想化的谄媚是，她们会觉得自己比真实的自己或者生来的自己低一等。为了去追求完美的美已经变成一种自我压抑。女性被变成分开来评价自己身体每一部分，胸部，腿，臀部，腰，脖子，眼睛，鼻子，肤色，头发等等，每一处都被焦虑的，难以满意的，几乎是极端绝望的观察评价。即使有些还说的过去，但也有不足的地方。不达到完美就不罢休。
对于男人来说，好看是对整体而言的，是看第一眼大致的感觉。不需要通过身体各部分的尺寸来评定。没人会让一个男人把自己切成一段一段的看。至于外表看起来完美是被认为不重要的，甚至被认为是缺乏男子气概的。实际上，一个男人外表上如果有一点瑕疵，反倒被认为是完美的。根据一位自称是Robert Redford粉丝的电影影评家（一名女性）的说法，恰恰是他脸上那一簇黑痣使他没有被认为是“小白脸“。由此可想暗含在这种判断里对女性和美的贬低。
Cocteau曾说，“美丽的特权是巨大的。”确实，美是一种力量。也理应如此。但悲哀的是这成为大多数女性所追求的唯一力量。而且这种力量总是与男人联系在一起，不是一种行动，而是一种取悦。是一种否定自身的力量。因为这种力量不是可以自由选择的，至少没办法经过社会的审查而选择不要。
精心打扮对于一个女性来说，不是一种享受的愉悦。而是一种职责。是她的工作。如果一个女人做了真正意义上的工作，甚至是位于政法界，医学界，商业界的诸如此类的领导地位，也会被迫承认仍努力使自己保持吸引力。但是如果她一直保持着很好的魅力，又会让人们怀疑她的专业素质，权威性和思维周密性。不做不是，做也不是。
要证明把一个人内在和外在分开来评价的危险性，除了那个没完没了的半忧半喜的对女性压迫的事以外，很难举出更加重要的证据了。人们非常容易认为女性是外表的关注者，然后再贬低她们（或者发现她们可爱）是“肤浅”的。这是一个赤裸裸的陷阱，并且存在很久了。要摆脱这个陷阱，女人需要与跟美相关的突出和特权保持距离，以能够看清美在多大程度上被削弱了来支持“女性化”。我们应该把美从女性中分离出来，这同时也是为了女性们。

To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking.Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important.Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English.It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result.As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.With more and more donations coming in, our university will be much better off financially next year.We will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly/academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material satisfaction.George, the son of Mr.Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the community to fall asleep.Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference.They called Mr.Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking.Mr.Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue.As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.” In the end George traded his CDs for computer games software from his classmates.Perhaps you envy me for being able to work from home on the computer.I agree that the Internet has made my job a lot easier.I can write, subm it and edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues on line and discuss work with my boss.With a click of the mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with the latest news.But then, communicating through the Net can be frustrating at times.The system may crash.Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to interpret
Numerous facts bear out the argument/statement/claim that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion, you should allow yourself to cry.You needn’t/don’t have to be ashamed of crying.Anxiety and sorrow can flow out of the body along with tears.Consider the case of /Take Donna.Her son unfortunately died in a car accident.The intensity of the blow made her unable to cry.She said, “It was not until two weeks later that I began to cry.And then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted from my shoulders.It was the tears that brought me back to earth and helped me survive the crisis.”

《呼啸山庄》（节选）
我把哈莱顿放在膝上摇着，嘴里哼着歌。这时，卡西小姐把头伸进来，低声说： “就你一个人吗，内莉？” “是的，小姐，”我答道。
她进了屋，向壁炉走来。我料想她有话要说，就抬起头看着她。她脸上的表情显得既困惑又焦虑。她半张着嘴，似乎想说什么；她深深地吸了一口气，可随之而来的却是一声无语的叹息。
我又继续哼着歌，没有忘记她最近的所作所为。“希思克厉夫呢？”她问我，打断了我的歌声。“在马厩干活呢，”我答道。
他没有反驳我，也许他正在打瞌睡。
接着是长时间的沉默，其间我看见一两滴眼泪顺着凯瑟琳的面颊滴落到石板地上。
“她在为自己不光彩的行为感到难过吗？”我自忖。“那倒是件新鲜事，也许她自己会说出来—— 反正我是不会帮她的。”
不会的，除了自己的事，她对别的事都不太关心。“噢，天哪！”她终于喊道，“我好难过！”
“可惜呀，”我说，“让你满意还真不容易，你有这么多的朋友，又没什么忧愁，可还是不知足！”
“内莉，你肯为我保密吗？”她缠着我，跪在我身旁，抬起她那双迷人的眼睛看着我。就算你完全有理由发火，一见到那眼神，你就没脾气了。“这个秘密值得保守吗？”我用稍微缓和一点的语气问。
“是的，它让我很苦恼，我必须说出来。我想知道我该怎么办。今天，埃德加· 林顿要我嫁给他，我已经答复他了。现在，我先不告诉你我是接受了还是拒绝了。你告诉我，我该怎么答复他。”
“真有这事儿吗，凯瑟琳小姐？我怎么知道该如何答复呢？”我回答。“我答应他了，内莉；快点儿告诉我，我是不是做错了！”
“你答应他了？那还有什么必要讨论这件事呢？你许下了诺言，就不能反悔了。” “可是，告诉我我是不是应该这样做——快告诉我，”她有些懊恼，大声喊起来。“要想正确地回答这个问题，得先考虑很多事情。”我用说教的语气说。“首先，你爱埃德加先生吗？”
“内莉，你从来没做过稀奇古怪的梦吗？”她说。“做过，有时候会。”我回答。
“我也做过。我这辈子做的一些梦一直缠着我，改变了我的心思；这些梦穿透了我的心，就像酒溶入水一样，改变了我心灵的颜色。在一个梦里——我要讲了——你可别笑我——我梦见自己到了天堂，可天堂看起来不像我的家；我哭得很伤心，想要回到尘世间来。天使们愤怒之极，把我扔到呼啸山庄顶部的荒野上。我在那儿醒过来，高兴得直哭。这足以解释我的秘密。我不该嫁给埃德加· 林顿，就像我不该去天堂一样。现在，嫁给希思克厉夫会降低我的身份；他永远也不会知道我是多么爱他。我爱他，并不是因为他相貌英俊，内莉，而是因为他比我更像我自己。不管我们俩的灵魂是什么做成的，我们的灵魂是一样的，而林顿与我们的差异犹如月光之于闪电，寒霜之于烈火。” Active reading(2)婚姻 罗· 斯· 托马斯 我们相遇 在鸟鸣的 阵雨之下。

它会把你的面影变成 一张发虚的哀伤照片。我努力做到真实。

爱情是生活的原动力
时代在变化。现在，人们即使彼此相隔千万里、文化背景不同，也可以通过网络约会，相识相爱。在新千年里，世界越变越小，地方性的传统能有多少得以保留下来呢？我们决定对亚欧四国的年轻人展开调查，了解他们是如何寻觅爱情，如何最终找到心上人的。我们发现，虽然互联网和信息技术改变了各地的生活方式，但许多地方的人仍然以传统的方式谈情说爱。
印度拥有世界上最美妙动人的爱情诗篇，也拥有世界上最著名的爱情纪念碑——皇帝沙贾汗为纪念其波斯爱妃而建的泰姬陵。但是，在印度，95% 的婚姻仍然是由家庭安排的。现在，很多年轻人用手机安排约会。一些印度诗人担心，写情书的传统将日渐消亡。为了引起人们对这个问题的关注，他们组织了一个情人节情书大赛。
另一个亚洲国家日本拥有不同的文化传统，依靠“媒人”来安排婚事。家中如有待娶的儿子或待嫁的女儿，家长会与媒人接触，由媒人出面安排未来的新人相亲（Mi-Ai）。古时候，相亲是一种礼节。如果相亲后男方留下一把扇子，这表示男方对女方感兴趣，婚礼也就随后举行——女方没有决定权。现在，相亲活动依然存在，但是，如果双方不投缘，就不会再见面了。
在欧洲，有些恋爱传统依然留存，尽管随着时间的推移发生了变化。在威尔士，青年男子会给意中人一把自制的木勺。每把木勺的柄端都刻着一样东西，比如，钟代表婚礼，心代表“我爱你”。女方可以收下木勺，也可以把木勺还给男方，表示自己对对方不感兴趣。现在，爱情木勺只是作为旅游纪念品出售。不过，年轻人仍然可以给意中人寄上绘有爱情木勺的情人节卡片，表白自己的感情。
传统的恋爱方式并未全部过时。几年前，在意大利有一部很叫座的电影，影片中一对年轻的情侣将一把锁锁在罗马的一座桥上，然后将钥匙扔到河中，以此承诺对彼此忠贞不渝。这种做法很快流传到其他地方。现在，许多桥上都挂着“爱锁”。当罗马市长决定取掉这些锁时，他遭到了普遍的反对。爱锁因此得以保留下来，继续向人们展示着爱情是生活的原动力。传统的恋爱方式也是推动生活的 力量。
